1.The Introduction. Let me start off with introducing myself,my name is spark, 8 months ago I made a mapping team called Nova Mapping team and since then we have made some progress.

2.Meet the team. Spark: Leader,map populator, scripter
LMTHeretic: Co-Leader, bsp modeler, scripter
Dumb_ai: concept artist
Hobbet360: BSP/vehicle modeler, scripter
TheElitePro: He handles the sound effects
Matthewdratt: Co-leader cutscene maker,recorded animations, bsp modeler,AI stuff
Vergil: he models our awesome weapons
Skidrow925: FP animater
Mootjuh: High-poly weapon modeler

3. Previous work. Some of you may remember imprisonment from a long time back








the map has been put on hold for some time because we are working on something different.
we also have concept art for a new weapon if anyone would like to model it for us since we don't have a weapon modeler yet, we haven't come up with a name for it so if you have any suggestions post them.



4.Future plans. currently we are working on a sp map but we will also work on some mp as well.

5.Who are we looking for? As of now we are looking for people who can work well with particles,and need someone who can make decent animations and also a rigger.if you have any interest in joining pm me or talk to me over xfire spark364.

This team looks like it can have potential...

What I can do: Cinematics, AI stuff, BSP Modeling, Scripting, Sounds, Dropship Animations, Non-Action Cinematic Cyborg Animations, Recorded Animations
Resume: Project Lumoria (as animator and cinematics), Halo CE3 (as director), Takedown series (as project lead and pretty much everything else but tags)

I won't have time until June to do anything, but if you want me keep in contact and I can probably join the team in June

ok We are still looking for the following 1.biped/vehicle modeler (a second scenery modeler would be nice) 2.weapons/biped/vehicle animaters
3.riggers 4.someone who can make good looking textures 5.particles guy if you got any questions post them below.

@OP:
Plasma pistol looks different, is it a reskin or an entirely new weapon altogether?
What SP map are you working on? Does it use existing BSPs or are you creating a new one?
PS: Not too sure if you are planning to improve on the imprisonment map, third pic seems kinda dark, is it intended?

Would suggest your team focus on one project first instead of working on multiple projects at once, that way you would have actual progress to show in less time and be less distracted, and show team viability. Also, you might want to be more specific about what you are working on.

once we get the people I have listed we will start working on major sp maps. Also the sooner we get weapon modelers and animaters and whatnot the sooner you can be expecting some very neat weapons and maps. I already am having TheElitePro make me some sound effects for the future weapons.

I decided to make a video cause I was bored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9igPGnIWP7I you get to watch grunts die and see part of imprisonment at the same time. and hobbet is there a reason why you keep deleting your messages?

I could attempt that. I'm not the best but I'm good at covenant stuff.

do you got a xfire you could add me on? my username is spark364

The grip looks very human, and try to check the proportions between the handle and the grip before modellingthat, i'm not sure it will turn well if modeled directly

suggested names for the new gun so far.

-Bolt Gun
-Bolt Rifle

It's pretty much just an idea.

Anyone who attempts to model it can add their own idea to it (i.e making the grip more Covenant-like)

It's still got the same idea, but I'm doing my own twist to it.

EDIT: I have no idea how to unwrap this, every tutorial I look at is just "how to unwrap a cylinder because we don't know how to teach complex things"

EDIT 2: I have a progress pic. http://p3d.in/PfMP9

Edited by Vergil on Jan 27, 2013 at 08:16 PM

have you tried this tutorial yet? http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4342

That's a pretty simple model he's unwrapping. I'm not sure if I can do that with this.

EDIT: I figured it out, no trouble.
Edited by Vergil on Jan 27, 2013 at 08:47 PM

good to hear. btw vergil did you get my pm?

looks awesome! ...and resembles the Promethean Suppressor imo.

we will be using OS in a few sp maps so I would say go for it.

Got bored so i started with the sight.

You could only do so much with only a mouse.

Pardon?

Not you.

I think the top of the whole weapon should be round.

see I would have dumb ai make concept art for a high-poly version however I currently am having him make concept art for something else and I don't wanna overwhelm him with stuff. when its ingame and ready to show I will make a new thread which will contain our projects and whatnot.
Edited by Spark on Jan 28, 2013 at 04:41 PM

@Altis I agree. It being boxy depends on how you look at it, right? Who made the concept? Ask him/her. Though if it's covenant it ought to be round-er.
Edited by Wolf_ on Jan 28, 2013 at 05:12 PM

Sounds like an interesting project. I can do FP animations for ye.

does any one else have any suggestions for the name of the new weapon. also you may be seeing something new next week maybe even friday or saturday anyone wanna take any guesses as to what it might be?were also still looking for someone who can texture,and someone who can work with particles.
Edited by Spark on Jan 28, 2013 at 09:19 PM

Might be like a beam/particle, railgun thing.

I think you should model the gun's outer shell first, then cut out the scope's shape from the body for the best results.

Not smoother, no. But rounder.

Edited by Wolf_ on Jan 29, 2013 at 04:29 AM

as far as I know dumb ai got some inspiration for the weapon from the suppressor,focus rifle I think carbine or beam rifle,and rail gun.
Edited by Spark on Jan 29, 2013 at 08:36 PM

Basically,it's a mix of all five guns.
It supposed to fire like the rail gun,except it can't reloaded and you can charge indefinitely.
Edited by Dumb AI on Jan 29, 2013 at 10:02 PM

I'll just leave this here...

that is also some interesting concept you made there vergil.
